Due to their better than expected performance more resources were allocated as time went on until the organization was officially recognized as a child organization of the [[stararmy:start]]. 
 + 
 +=====Activity===== 
 +The Shinken Initiative spends most of its resources on furthering melee weapon culture in the [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]] in a variety of ways. However its main focus is both teaching [[skills:martial_arts:gendaijutsu]] and hosting martial arts tournaments. Using their initial connections with the [[stararmy:start]], they have also become an optional training program for soldiers and officers alike to undertake and improve their combat abilities. 
 + 
 +=====Organization===== 
 +The Shinken Initiative is run by two individuals, [[characters:npc:daichi_kurogane]] who manages and runs the organization, and [[characters:npc:kazue_sonohana]] who is the head instructor of [[skills:martial_arts:gendaijutsu]]. The two main branches of the organization are the research branch which conducts research into martial arts and ways of designing appropriate weapons for modern martial arts to be useful in war, and the teaching branch, which spends its time improving the teaching methods used, as well as actually teaching.
  
-=====Courses===== +=====Misconceptions===== 
-The Shinken Initiative offers different courses for their students, based on how it's intended for for the techniques to be used. All of the courses and techniques were developed with the aid of the [[yamatai:ketsurui_samurai]]. +There are often misconceptions about the company, as their methods seem rather contrary to those of the  [[faction:yamatai:ketsurui_samurai]]. However, the Shinken Initiative holds the [[faction:yamatai:ketsurui_samurai]] in high regard for its maintaining traditional arts. The initiative is aware, though, that the traditional methods aren't for everyone, and created their program to fill the gap in cultural awareness as well as military trianing.
-===Differences from Sora-Mai=== +
-The Shinken Program has it's roots in [[:martial_arts#sora-mai]], but takes a step off the path of tradition and art, preferring to head in the direction of pure combat system. As such there are different emphasis on what is important and methodologies are different, but Shinken techniques are compatible with [[:martial_arts#sora-mai]] teachings.+
  
-==== Civilian Courses ==== +=====Weapons===== 
-===Self Defense=== +The Shinken Initiative does not have the facilities to mass produce their own weapons, but they sourced their ideas to other companies to handle mass production. These are the weapons that the company has designed; 
-This is a week long course designed to teach self defense techniques using knives and short swords. Offensive techniques are not strongly emphasized in this class and rather defense is strongly focused on.
